Using hotels you love to find similar vibes in other places I have a few lodges I absolutely love that are pretty unique, specially black rock in Belize and a few others. I’m booking a trip to Hawaii and Pacific NW and want places to stay in places with the same ‘feeling’ – i essentially want to see where those who stayed at places I considered awesome might have stayed and reviewed in future places I t…

Canadian renting a car in Scotland I am going to Scotland in a few months and want to rent a car. I have a British Columbian License but it is a “novice” license. There are restrictions I have to follow because of this – just the amount of people i have in my car, zero drinking allowed, no electronics. I can drive by myself in Canada and I am over 25 (which seems to be the car re…

India 30 day e-visa – missed countries on list of countries visited Hi there, I’ve applied for a 30 day e-visa and just had it the ETA through as granted. Since receiving it I’ve realised I missed a few countries I’ve been to from the box ‘countries visited in the last 10 years’. In particular, one of those missed has a stamp in my passport. Concerned that this was an issue, I’ve tried calling the helpdeak numbe…

Rainy season in Central America Hi everyone, I’m planning to travel to Central America around early March for about 2-3 months and have seen some varied things about dry/rainy seasons. I’ll be starting and ending in Mexico (not CA, I know) and Panama and wondered if anyone recommends a particular route/direction to avoid the worst of the rain as the trip extends into May poten…

For some context, me and my extended family are flying out from Perth, Australia to Athens, and doing a large Mediterranean cruise from Athens to Rome, stopping in Crete, Montenegro, Barcelona, Marseilles, Gibraltar, Pisa, and Genoa (in no particular order), and ending in Rome. We’re doing this to celebrate multiple birthdays and events tha…

One day in Medellín – Guatapé or Comuna 13 One Day in Medellin – Guatapé or Comuna 13 TLDR: I have one day left in Medellín, should I spend it on a day trip to Guatapé or should I do a Comuna 13 tour?

Domestic flights in China Hey all, I’ll be traveling to China and Taiwan this summer. I already have my flights to Taiwan, from Taiwan to Macau, then to China (Xiamen), and departing from Hong Kong. I need to book a domestic flight from either Xiamen to Chongqing or Chendgu, but the flights are very very high in June, cheapest around $250 but even some are 400-800$. For …

Travel Getting Harder as I Age I love traveling, am going to Iceland and Rio this year. Does anyone else feel like it’s getting harder as they age. I am 40, and honestly do not have the energy or stamina to do what I used to do. Just wondering if I am the only one out there. Guys-travel as much as you can in your youth! submitted by /u/SurveyReasonable1401

which destination for the mentally exhausted and depressed? *updated post* hey everyone, I am a 26 year old young woman and I’ve been clinically depressed lately. I am currently in a toxic household and I really need to get away for a solo trip this month (late planning, I know, but I can’t stay in my house any longer I just need to leave). I am new to solo travel, this would actually be my first solo tr…

How does connecting international flights with different airlines work? I have a two-way flight from Singapore to Paris say from 1 May departure to 14 May return. I want to fly from Paris to Florence when I arrive and then slowly backpack my way back from Florence to Paris for my return flight. I bought a two way flight as it is cheaper than two one-way tickets. It’s half the price so even if I take another flight…

Favorite Countries, World Regions, and Cities? I find myself unquestionably drawn to the Middle East and Africa the most. I can’t quite describe what specifically it is about these regions that I love so much but it leaves me with a burning desire to return on a yearly or consistent basis. I’m actually going back next month, visiting Oman for my 40th bday. Maybe the reason I like it a lot is…

Why is a roundtrip (JFK-CDG) ticket less than a SINGLE one way (CDG-JFK)? Round trip JFK-CDG on major airlines (DAL, AF) from mid-March to end of May is around $700 One-way end of May on the same airlines are ~$1100. Is this normal? I cannot book the round trip as I’m flying in from elsewhere. submitted by /u/boz0oo0

Almost ended up in Hawaii by accident. I didn’t even know it was possible to get on the wrong plane with all the ticket scanners and security checks—but apparently, it is. So, I was flying to Helena, Montana, on United. On the way to the airport, I got a call from a gate agent saying my flight from my hometown to Denver (where I had a connection) was oversold. They asked if I’d be wi…

What’s a country or place you have visited, that has made you forget reality? Hello All, So most of us take time off work to visit a place once a year or so, to forget our sorrows and agonies, take a break from all the noise, and enjoy what the world has to offer. So I wanted to ask, what place do you recall visiting, that made you forget that you had a job to return to, and everything seemed so blissful, due to having su…

What the wildest experience you had while travelling To share mine it wasn’t wildest but funny and mind blowing on how easily it was to buy weed in Portugal during the Afronation you can be walking up the beach and 5 people in like 2 feet away would approach you submitted by /u/Novel_Mammoth2349

Have you bartered? Im traveling to a country where it is culturally acceptable to talk down prices. I’ve heard it also heard they do “gringo prices” so ill definitely be paying more for that. I honestly don’t mind but I always see blogs that tell you that you can barter for a better price but I’m curious how you even go about that and people’s experiences. Thanks!…

Passport Control detected something on me I was recently coming back to the US from Iceland and was “randomly selected” for additional screening. They swabbed my Kindle, phone, luggage, etc. and my Kindle came back with some type of alarm. They swabbed it a few more times and it kept testing positive for SOMETHING, although they refused to tell me what. They brought in a couple more peo…
